Acceptable Use Policy
Last Updated: October 17, 2026
The short version:
- Cook, share and have fun. Be kind to the people you share with.
- No breaking the law, no harassment, nothing hateful or sexual.
- No bots, scraping, account sharing or getting around limits and free trials.
- Don't try to trick Gusteau into anything harmful.
- Break the rules and we may remove things or close the account.
What Gusteau Is For
Gusteau is for planning and cooking food at home, alone or with the people you cook with. This policy says what isn't allowed when you use Gusteau: the website, the app, Gusteau's AI, shared recipe links and Recipe Boards. It's part of our Terms of Service, and it applies to everything you upload, share or ask.
Breaking the Law or Hurting People
Don't use Gusteau to:
- break any law, or help someone else break one;
- harass, bully, threaten, stalk or intimidate anyone, or share someone's private information without their permission;
- deceive people, pretend to be someone else (including Wyzie or Gusteau), or run scams, spam or phishing;
- endanger, exploit or target children in any way;
- get or give instructions for poisons, weapons, drugs, or tampering with food, or for anything meant to make someone ill.
What You Share
Don't upload, share or put on a Recipe Board or shared link anything that:
- you don't have the right to share, such as a cookbook's pages, someone's photos, or a paid recipe copied in full;
- is hateful, harassing, sexual, violent or graphic, or attacks people for who they are;
- contains viruses or harmful code, or links meant to trick people;
- gives medical claims about food as if they were fact, or presents a dangerous practice as safe;
- advertises or sells things without our permission.
Using Gusteau's AI
- Don't try to make Gusteau ignore his rules, reveal his instructions, or produce harmful, illegal, hateful or sexual content.
- Don't hide instructions for him in photos, links or recipe text you send.
- Don't use his answers to build or train another AI or recipe service.
- Don't present his recipes as tested, certified or professional advice when they aren't.
The Service and Your Account
- Don't share your account, sell it, or sign in to someone else's. Family seats are for people you actually cook with.
- Don't get around the free trial, plan allowances, fair use, payment or security: no extra accounts or cards for more free trials, no throwaway emails, no getting around a pause.
- Don't use bots, scripts, scrapers or other automated tools to use Gusteau or copy its content, and don't put an unreasonable load on it.
- Don't probe, scan or test Gusteau for weaknesses, or try to get into accounts, boards or systems you're not allowed in. If you find a security problem, please tell us at hey@trygusteau.com instead, and give us a fair chance to fix it before telling anyone else.
- Don't copy, change, decompile or reverse engineer Gusteau, except where the law expressly allows it.
- Don't resell Gusteau, offer it as part of your own service, or use it to run a food business, without our written agreement.
What We Do About It
We don't watch what you cook, but we look into problems we find or that are reported to us. Depending on how serious it is, we may warn you, remove content, pause features, end a family seat or a free trial, or suspend or close the account, and where the law asks, report it to the authorities. We'll tell you why when we reasonably can, and you can write to us if you think we got it wrong. Serious or repeated breaks may mean closing the account straight away, without a refund except as the Refund Policy says.
Reporting a Problem
If you see something on Gusteau that breaks these rules, such as a shared recipe or board, write to support@trygusteau.com with a link and what's wrong. For copyright, follow the Copyright Policy.
